We have lost in sisterMcConnellone of our best citizens: one that will be missed in many places, for shewasalways ready to visit the sick and relieve them as far as she could; but Godsawfit to call her away from labor to reward, and we will try to bow inhumble submission to his will, cherishing the hope that we will meet her inthe better land where parting never comes. Her sickness was of fourweek'sduration, during which time she was a great sufferer; yet she bore it allwithchristian courage without amurmer.
